Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>IF KNOCK-OUTS were the only way to decide boxing bouts, many would end in draws, says African Connection Boxing founder Immanuel ‘AC’ Moses.<\/b><\/p>\n

Instead, boxing is more about out-manoeuvring your opponent than battering them to a pulp.<\/p>\n

Moses came out in defence of his unbeaten protege Flaim ‘Special One’ Nangolo, whose power has been questioned.<\/p>\n

Only one of Nangolo’s nine fights has not gone the distance – a third-round technical knockout of Gustaf Petrus in their rematch last year.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old followed that up with a hard-fought split decision over David Shinuna on 9 April to retain the national junior lightweight strap, which he won by unanimous decision against veteran Abraham Ndauendapo.<\/p>\n

After defending his title, Nangolo, who will again top the AC Rising Stars bill when he faces the first international rival in Ndodana Ncube (8-3) from Zimbabwe on 2 June in Windhoek, said his camp prefers that he entertains rather than go for the kill.<\/p>\n

His critics say he lacks power to finish off rivals, like the sturdy Shinuna who claimed the champion feared standing toe to toe with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people say he didn’t win by KO. But they forget that whether you win on points or by KO, a win is a win,\u201d Moses said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoxing is not about hurting your opponent. It’s about getting the better of them. You need skill and tactics, KO is a bonus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe keep working on his [Nangolo’s] skill and power. He’s still learning and growing as a fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nangolo is looking to follow in his uncle Sakaria ‘Desert Storm’ Lukas’ footsteps by defeating Ncube (24).<\/p>\n

Returning to the ring after two years on the sidelines, a rusty Lukas stopped the Zimbabwean in the eighth round in their 2019 Harare bout.<\/p>\n

Ncube lasted just two rounds against world title-chasing Jeremiah ‘Lowkey’ Nakathila in Windhoek last year before the fight was stopped.<\/p>\n

He recovered from that beating with a points win against compatriot Yamikani Mkandawire last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cNcube is a great fighter and he will give Special One a good test. He has fought two tough Namibians before, so he is not an easy opponent,\u201d Moses said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur boxers need these types of fights because we want to make sure they are ready to challenge for international title.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we expect a good show and Special One so he shows what he’s capable of.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AC Rising Stars bill also features co-main event Alfeus ‘Mosquito’ Shaanika, whose welterweight opponent is yet to be confirmed. Similarly, Robert Ndalewa and Shinuna are looking for lightweight rivals.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Hafeni Ngesheya will battle debutant Andreas Endjala in a lightweight clash, Ruaan Raspel takes on Niconor Alweendo in another lightweight bout, Fillipus Amwaama fights Shipahu Deocor at super lightweight, Petrus Salom goes up against Helma John in a featherweight bout while Andreas Johannes and Shikukutu Jona meet at lightweight.<\/p>\n
